Efficiency In Planet Antares Vending

The concept of operating dedicated beverage route will be very beneficial for a Planet Antares vending operator. They just need to do enough business to keep at least one full time route person busy. There are several benefits that come with this.

A well designed beverage truck, with outside, roll up doors on the sidea can be filled by the pallet with a forklift truck. This will take lesser time than you would have, had you been loading a mixed-product route vehicle. In such circumstances, you will have to load one case at a time.

Due to space limitations on a mixed product truck, Planet Antares operators may not be able offer all the brands they could proftably sell. Although many customers will opt for an alternate brand or flavor if their first choice is not available. Some may even decide to walk away and lead to loss of sale. A well designed truck allows you to stock all the items that are demanded by customers of your business.

New beverage route people will have to learn how to fill one type of machine and thus, have one less type of machine to learn. This would cut down on the amount of time taken for training a new route personnel and bringing him closer to the point where he is capable of running a Planet Antares vending route on his own.

To enhance business efficiency, specialization is essential. When an employee only handles one product, he will learn how to handle the product with very few wasted motions. The machines will be filled at a faster pace since he will be more efficient. Mixed product route will also benefit. They would have one less product to worry about, and no longer have any chances of tripping over beverage cases in the vehicle.

After removing the beverage trucks from the vehicle and removing the beverage services from the route, the driver will be able to reach more locations to service perishable product machines.

If you try to run a dedictaed beverage route for your Planet Antares vending business, using a typical step or cube van, it will probably be too much work. It’s best to go for a truck that can be loaded with a forklift.
